Lane Kiffin upset at penalty disparity between Vols and Tide

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin says he chose not to run another play before the Volunteers attempted a potential game-winning field goal against Alabama in part because of the penalty disparity between the two teams.

Tennessee did not have a decent field goal unit or they would have won.

The one they made was low and almost too short, another fell short, and the other two blocked.

The kicking unit line was porous all over, not just from the big guy in the middle.

They have come a long way since last year. They gave Florida and Bama all they wanted and stomped Georgia.

We have a very tough conference to compete in.

Tennessee is well coached except for the field goal area and came very close to dealing the upset.

What counts is the "W" for Bama
